US Green Card Strategies for High-Skilled Canadian Professionals: EB-2 NIW, EB-1, O-1 and More 

Join us on August 27 at 11 AM ET for a webinar on the most promising U.S. green card strategies for high-skilled Canadian professionals.

US Green Card Strategies for High-Skilled Canadian Professionals: EB-2 NIW, EB-1, O-1 and More is designed specifically for Canadian immigration consultants and attorneys who want to offer real, long-term U.S. immigration solutions to their clients.

As traditional Canadian immigration pathways grow more limited and competitive, many professionals are exploring the U.S. as a land of opportunity, especially through self-petition green card categories like the EB-2 NIW and EB-1. These options empower clients to pursue permanent residency without employer sponsorship, making them especially attractive to independent professionals, entrepreneurs, and academics.

In this webinar, Marianella Manzur, Partner and Director of Sales & Marketing at Joorney, sits down with renowned U.S. immigration attorney Jacob Sapochnick to unpack the visa categories and profile-building strategies that are helping high-skilled Canadians secure green cards in 2025.

Key questions will be answered:

• Why are so many Canadian professionals considering the U.S. right now?
• What makes the EB-2 NIW and EB-1 so powerful and how do they compare to the O-1?
• What timelines and approval rates can your clients expect?
• What do ideal candidates for these self-petition categories look like?
• How can a candidate strengthen their profile within 3–6 months?
• When do supporting documents, like business plans or professional summaries, become essential?
• How can you, as a consultant or lawyer, identify strong candidates and get them started?

This session is built for Canadian immigration professionals who want to stay ahead of client needs and offer solutions that go beyond the Canadian system.

Whether your clients are entrepreneurs, researchers, or tech professionals, you’ll leave this session with the knowledge to identify strong U.S. immigration candidates, refer them with confidence, and understand your role throughout the process.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from one of the most experienced U.S. attorneys in business-based immigration and a team that’s helped thousands of professionals bring their goals to life.
